Altenew June 2018 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Today is a super fun day over at Altenew! Today is the June Release day! I have 3 projects to share and there are prizes! Scroll down for the giveaway info and for the entire blog hop list. If you are following along, you just got here from May's blog. Isn't she amazing?

This first card showcases the new set called Ditsy Print paired with my favorite hello die in the history of ever! :) This set is perfect for the clean and simple stamper. It has beautiful outlined stamps and then the solid centers making it for a quick, beautiful image.

To create this card I stamped and heat embossed the floral image from the set all over a piece of vellum. I flipped the vellum over and on the back, I used Copics to quickly color in the flowers and leaves. I added the hello die in white card stock to the front of the vellum panel. On the back, I added adhesive behind the hello die and then added that panel to an aqua card base.

I am a HUGE fan of banners. I love having them for special days at the house, for my craft room...really any occasion needs a banner! This month Altenew has some new products that have me geeking out...perfect for making all the banners!

I grabbed a rainbow of colored card stock and used the Pocked Banner Die to cut out 8 banners. Next, I took the new background stamp called Pinstripe and put it in my Misti. I was able to quickly stamp all 8 banners with the stripes, all perfectly even, half way covering each piece.

Next, I used white card stock and cut out the words Happy Day. I added each letter to the banners with foam tape for some dimension. Using white twine and white mini clothespins to string up the banners, it's now ready to hang!

Here is a close up of 2 of the panels....I adore those stripes! This makes for a quick, clean and simple banner. And looks at those little pierced dots around the edge! Love that the Banner dies add such a fun detail.

One last, easy peasy project!

To create this card I stamped the leaf images from Leaf Canopy in black ink. I added a tiny pink dot of ink throughout the images. I grabbed the new alphabet die called Tall Alpha....LOVE!!... and stamped the sentiment in pink ink. I attached the white card front to a pink card base and left a tiny bit of the pink base showing on the side and top for some more color.

Super showcasing of the new release, Laurie. I just mentioned to May I loved the Ditsy Print Stamp Set because it would be so easy to create a background with it. And then, surprise, your first card. Have a beautiful day =) Tracie

Your cards are lovely Laurie, especially the first one, how pretty! Your banner is fantastic too. (My daughter makes banners for every season and occasion and changes them out regularly.) These alphabet dies are perfect for this. ♥ IT!

I love all the different ideas you showed us. The vellum makes for such a soft, gorgeous background. I love the half-stripe banners; the stripes add that little pop of interest to really make the project special. And the final card reminds me of some sort of old print style that I really like, I just don't know what it is! I wish I were better versed in art to be able to tell you, but I definitely enjoy it. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas!

Absolutely LOVE that card with the ditsy flowers! The huge HELLO is perfect over it. Like your idea of coloring vellum on the backside, too---I never would have thought of that! Thanks for the inspiration!

All your projects are great, but you stole my heart with that floral card. It's so sweet and pretty. The coloring on the back of the vellum is so soft, like suede. Pairing it with the giant hello was genius. Love!!!!

Hi Laurie. Your cards are just beautiful and I love the designs. The banners are brilliant!!! Wouldn't kids just love that banner hanging up for their birthdays? WOW. Am loving all the fabulous products in the Altenew new release. TFS.

Currently bed bound with severe ME/CFS so can not do card making at the moment but gathering a list of supplies and techniques I want to try the moment I can. My motto is to "learn until I can do again" Your cards and banners are inspiring! Can't wait till well enough to try again! Thank you for sharing your talent!
